Character in Lip. The old popular notion that thin and delicately formed lips indicate more spirit- uality and elevation of character than do -thick, coarse lips is rontrovorted in the Paris Bulletin of Anthropology by Dr. A. Bloch, who says he has made a thorough -study of the subject of lips from a scien- tiflc standpoint. The popular impression, he avers, is based on imagination, and the differences in human lips depend on race distinctions, as do the differences in the size and shape of noses.

It would seem that the silken fabrics produced during the winter could not be surpassed for beauty, but certainly some of those just prepared for use appear to excel them. Upon white or delicately tinted grounds of moire antique or of grog, grain with a woven, self colored figure are thrown printed designs of a chine. character of the most exquisite coloring and composition. The designs are floral and seem to be melting lute the fabric, so delicate is their coloring. Although the flowers themselves are not very large, they appear in large groups or garlands, some- times forming a vague stripe, Of course gowns of such elaborately decorated fabrics require hardly any trimming, as erne - Mentation would obscure the pattern. They are perfectly out and fitted and are ,made preferably In the princess style, that fashion allowing the largest unbroken surface of goods. The usual navy, or Yale blue silk 'with white designs is seen in more profusion than ever this year. Ieltas been worn for SILK PETTICOAT. many summers, and, being very service- able and generally beeoming, it seems to enjoy a permanont vogue. The designs. are chiefly of an arbitrary character this time—broken lines, curves and geomet- rical suggestions, placed close enough to- gether so that the ground is well covered. 1 The picture illustrates a petticoat of pink and white brocho silk- It has a deep flounce of white surah, ornamented with lace insertions and ruffle and groups of small tucks. The corset is of pink satin, I and the corset cover is a little sleeveless bolero of pink snrah, trimmed with lace and insertion and tied in a knot in front. JVDla CitomXT. SPRING GOWNS. New Developments Fee the Cominw Season, A new fancy for covering gowns Is the employment of black net over white silk or satin. The net is usually embroidered, and sometimes several thicknesses of mousseline do solo of different shades are interposed between the silk and the tulle or not to give a changeable effect. These rainbow tints are peculiarly attractive un- der flounces of black chantilly. 1 Largo flowers aro now worn in the hair with evening dress and are placed at each side of the coil of hair, high up or above each ear, in the old fashioned style Ca- mollies, roses, dahlias, even peonies, are ° thus used. The Louis Quinzo coat is a charming garment and is favored for small dinners, receptions and teas. It need not bo of the same material as the skirt, although the two should harmonize. The vest, over which it opens, is of different color, and both coat and vest are often embroidered. The revers are small. A cravat of lace or mousseline de soio and wrist frills of equal delicacy are essential accompaniments. Blouses aro not well represented among spring styles, the close fitting, pointed bodice coming to the front once more in most costumes. The bolero, which had fallen into the background more or less, is again in evidence, many cloth costumes BENGALINE GOWN. being completed by a bolero of velvet of a darker tone. It comes down to tbo waist line and opens in front to chow a yoke or plastron. The illustration shows a costume of red bengaline. The skirt has two circular flouncestrimmed with bands of black satin. The pointed bodice is ornamented with black embroidery and has revers of black satin, which open over a cravat and jabot of embroidered' white tulle. The close sleeves have bands of black satin at the top and wrist. The round hat of Week straw is decorated with a long black plume, a bow of red satin and a geld buckle Jvmia Caolfs'c.

For 22 years he has Reid the position of section foreman for the G,T.R., which position he fills to -day, and judging from his present robust appearance will be tapable of do- ing so for many years to conte. During bis residence at Fenelon Falls Mr. Mc- iiendry has taken an active part in educa- tional matters, being an efUeient member of the school board on different occasions, Many times he bas been nominated for councillor, but owing to the position he held with an outside corporation felt it hi, duty to withdraw, although much against the wishes of the representative ratepayers.

I could not sleep or rest night or day. I could not begin to tell you what I suffered, I took many remedies, both internal and ex- ternal, prescribed by doctors and friends, but instead of improving I was steadily going from badto worse. One day while reading the Pr. sbyteriau Review I read of a cure through. the Bee of Dr. Williams' Pink Pi11S, in the case of a man who bad not been expeoted to recover, and this prompted pie to give this medicine a trial. 'I he action in my ease did not scene to be speedy, and I was using my fifth box before any decided improvement was noted, hue by the time I had used eight boxes I was a thoroughly well man, Since that time my general health has been the very best and I have no signs of the old trouble, I make this statement *Jun. tartly, because I think it the duty of those cured to put others in possession of the means of obtaining renewed health, and I am satisfied Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will do ail that is entailed for them if given a trial."

Probably the most remarkable drummer who has over lived was Jean Henri, the famous tambour major of Emperor Na- poleon. One of his feats was to play upon fifteen different toned drums ab the same time in so soft and harmonious a manner that, instead of the deafening uproar that might have been expected, the effect was that of a novel and complete instrument. In playing he passed from one drum to the other with such wonderful quickness that the oyes of the spectators could hardly follow the movement of his hands and body.

Miss Slessor of the united Presbyterian Mission at Old Calabar was a passenger on the Elder -Dempster Liner Oron, 'which left Liverpool recently, and had with her four black children whose cases reveal a painful part of West African history, Miss Siesecte has now worked for 22 years in Old. Calabar. Tbe.ehildren are aged, respectively, 2, 3, 5 and 16. ears, and each, is one of twins appointed at one time to die, in accordance with a super- stitious custom prevailing in the Niger Coast Protectorate, In the course of an interview Miss • Slessor said that all twins born were, i according to the native laws, to be put immediately to death, and it is only - those who have been rescued by the mis- sionaries and placed beyond the reach of the native power who bave so far escaped, The obildren in the Oren were four of these. Altogether, Miss Slessor has herself saved the lives of 51 twins. When 'the twins are born they are at 1 once taken from the mother,and, if no one interferes, they aro rakenby the feet and bead and bave their backs broken across a native woman's knee, in the same way as one would break a stick, The bodies are then placed in an earthen- ware receptacle and taken to the bosh, where they are devoured by the flies, in- sects or animals. Sometimes the little victims are put in these receptacles alive, and are viten eaten alive in the same way.. Tbo mother becomes an outcast, If she does not at once take her own life, rile has to flee to tbo bush. If she ventures near the town or village, she must see that she does not remain in the path when any other native is coining. Her presence. according to the superstition, would defile the place for others, She must not drink from the some spring, must not touch anything even belonging to her awu relatives, and there is little cause for wonder that she takes away her lffe, which has become a living death, Bliss Slessor is accompanied on the Oron by Niel McIntosh, and together they aro going to establish a home for these native twins. The natives' supersti- tion is that the birth of twins is the re- sult of witeheraft and deviltry. Formerly the h mo as we e ter, well as the children, ren, was put to death, Tine intervention of the white missionaries and traders saved bee life. Miss Slessor said; "It is really Im- possible to at once put an end to the horrible native customs, There could bo no better governors than we have at pres- ant. Sir Ralpn Moor and Sir Claude Macdonald have helped ns all they can. We don't want them to kill the natives to make them abolish the shocking practice. We hope by saving the children and bringing them up like other children to show the natives that they are wrong in their bofief. It is their religious belief that makes thein kill their children." A Joke on ltlpling. There is ono betel in Rottingdean, the White Horse by name, and it is kept by an old fellow named Welfare. Rudyard Kipling frequently passed his evenings with Welfare, and together they smoked and hammered politics. Now, Welfare was a strong Radical, and Mr. Kipling, as is Well known, is an advanced Im- perialist. One can imagine, therefore, that those wore spirited meetings, In a while Mr. Welfare fell 111. Mr. Kipling raided just as usual, and be would sit by the bedside and talk. As before, they bolted politics and talked crosswise and fiung their lances, Now, it wee the prac- tice of the doctor to call quite late and take his patient's temperature, and ho always wondered to find hien. in what should have been the quietest hour of the day, heated and peeturbesT. Ihl- went on for several days—the doctor wondering, Mr. Kipling arguing, and Mr. Welfare igniting—until the maids lot out the secret of the nightly discussion. Then the surgeon came to the writer's house. "Mr. Kipling," said ho, "you must call no more at the White Horse." "Why not?" said Kipling. "Because," said the doctor, "you are, killing the landlord. On Monday when , you had gone his temperature increased seven degrees. Tuesday it increased eight, and last night when I called it bad gone up nine. At this rate you'll &urn the house down." The Erring dem An egg that had lain in its nest for a whole day with nothing to do, said to its mother: 'Mother, I am tired of staying here idle. The city Is the mace for an aspiring young ovoid like myself, and I mean to ro there. In the city ono can see something and be something, but here I am only referred to as 'that fresh young egg. • „ And the mother hen sighed and said: "My child, let well enough alone. I have heard of the temptations that beset one in a great city. The bloom of innocence is soon rubbed from a young egg and the end is ruination. Stay here and be hatohed and when you aro a chicken if you are luol,-y enough to escape my feet in the first week of your existence you will find that the country is a lovely place in which to live." But the young egg was obstinate, and that night, together with some other eggs as fresh as itself, it went to the city. And for a few days it was as happy and virtuous as could bo desired, but in the course of a few weeks it fell in with some loose eggs that lay around a corner grocery, and at last, as its mother had feared, the egg became bad and that was the end of it. Moral—Tho city is no place for fresh eggs—Criterion. we Odors. The London Chronicle tells this story of Father Stanton, the well-known Lon- don ritualist: Chancing to enter into conversation with a visitor to St. Albans', Holborn, who had attended the service for the first time, Mr. Stanton asked him what be thought of the servioo. Tho stranger re- plied that he liked it all very well except the incense, to the use of which he strongly objected. "I am very sorry for you. my friend," said Mr. Stanton. The other, not unnaturally, asked, "Why?" "Well, you see," said Mr. Stanton, "there are only two odors in the next world— incense and brimstone—and you'll have to choose between them."
